The Caribou Lake Association has received a substantial grant from the State of Minnesota to fund boat inspections at both the Birch Point and Industrial Road Public Launches. The purpose of these inspections will be to assist boaters in compliance with state invasive species control regulations.

Your cooperation with the inspection program is most appreciated and will go a long way to help prevent the spread of destructive plants and animal material to and from other lakes.

If you are able to help, send a note through ‘Contact Us’ on the ‘Our Association’ tab. Thanks.

If you would like to learn to drive the cutter and help by volunteering some time, please contact tmarchand(at)CaribouLake.org or leave a reply to this post.
